I've switched to release/1.1.2 branch pulled and redone the process from guide I get the same kind of issues from within the electrum-btcp folders:

$pip install -r requirement.txt

...(run properly)

$./electrum bash: ./electrum: No such file or directory

$./electrum-btcp Error: No module named 'pyaes'. Try 'sudo pip install <module-name>'

What device are you trying to run electrum on? Maybe the package binaries simply aren't available for your processor type.

[aume27]

I'm on a acer laptop Intel® Core™ i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4 64bit.

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem
